chain-This file operation is used to randomly retrieve a
record from a file.The factor 1 value is mandatory for chain
operation. The factor 1 value must be key field or RRN.Chain
operation=setll+reade. In the case of chain it will points
to a particular record, not store the value in the input
buffer.it will not read duplicate records.if the value not
found the "hi" indicator will turn on.
Reade-Reads equal records from a file when we use setll or
setgt.Reade operation alone will not work.In the case of
Setll+reade, the record will be pointed and store the value
in the input buffer.Then read equal records from a file
sequentially. it will read all the duplicate records. The
factor 1 value is not mandatory for reade,if used,the key
value must be in factor1.

How can we override a file during runtime in rpg?
Q:Hi all,i want accurate answer with code using in built functions.please sent me code as soon as posible. I have program nmed PGM1 which '' RETRIEVE Current production date''should correctly default the production date for the user who is issuing raw materials to the manufacturing.The production date can be different from the celendra date. However, the program does not make the correct adjustment for all manufacturing plants. there is a parameter which determines the production start time e.g. 07:00 if the system time precedes this,the program subtracts one from the celendra day.This work fine when the celendar day starts after production day as it does in England,the system should be adding one to the celendar day during the overlap. unfortunately the program was desined to assumed the celendar day always starts before the production day. Change required in the program: Change the PROGRAM PGM1 to use the new parrameter to decide whether to add or subtract 1 from the celendar day when determining the production date.
